Re: Unable to access internet after installing ZoneAlarm

I am very sorry that you are having issues with ZA and hopefully I will be able to help you find a solution.

Are the DNS and the DHCP server IP's listed as Truested in the Zones?

1. Go to Run type in command , hit 'ok', and type ipconfig /all then press enter. In the returned data list will be a line DNS and DHCP Servers with the IP address(s) listed out to the side.
2. In ZA on your machine on the Firewall&gt;Zones tab click Add and then select IP Address. Make sure the Zone is set to Trusted.
3. Click OK and then Apply and see if that works to fix it.
4. The localhost (127.0.0.1) must be listed as Trusted.
5. In the Program Control list, there should be the Generic Host Process (svchost.exe) listed with access to the Trusted and Internet Zones and with Server rights for the Trusted Zone. But no server rights for the Internet Zones.

Still having issues, PLEASE complete the following and PLEASE keep me posted on your results, THANKS.

PLEASE try the following, as this will bring the firewall back to the original settings.

I think is your Zone Alarm database has gotten corrupt and does not remember your Zones settings. Reset your database and see if that will fix it. Reset the database this way; you will lose your customizations and will need to reconfigure Zone Alarm.

MAKE SURE you remove ALL the backup.rdb and iamdb.rdb files.
